LAUNCHING PLATFORM FOR TOY VEHICLES BEFORE THEY RUN ON A TRACK

摘要

The invention relates to a pad for launching toy vehicles whose motors have been previously energized onto a track, comprising a plate provided with an annular runway on which the vehicles are placed, and a turnstile having arms which separate the vehicles and constitute a stop for each of them. A pawl stops the turnstile from rotating. Retraction of this pawl by action on its rod permits, due to the fact that the drive wheels of each vehicle are providing torque, rotation of the turnstile which thus releases the first vehicle. The rotation of the turnstile causes return into blocking position of the pawl whose rod is then extended in a position to be actuated by a vehicle finishing its run on the track. The invention is particularly applicable to games and toys.
